BIDDEFORD (WGME) – Some of the country's top female hockey players are in Maine this week.

The USA National Girls U-18 Development Camp is being held at UNE's Harold Alfond Arena. The top 66 U.S.-born players ages 18 and under are all competing for a spot on the select team, which will then head to Lake Placid, New York for the national festival in August.

Among the players vying for a spot is former Lewiston Blue Devil Lauren DeBlois, who is the lone Maine representative and is making her second straight appearance skating with the top 66.
